WR ATI1FULLY DEDICATED TO ALL MEDDLERS.
By Vidian.
Would that this oft reiterated maxim
were graven with a pen of iron on
the tablet of every man s memory. It
should be written in letters of brass
and hung up at every public place, so
that "be that runs may read." It is
sound and wholesome advice. It is the
esesence of wisdom, to take heed to it.
If a father, in sending his son out into
the world, to battle lor himself, or to
earn a name iLperennvus aww," he could
condense hoars of advice into that little
caution expressed by tho caption of
this article. Being attendod to and
obsorved, it has made Men?being
neglected, it has brought misery and
vexation to the one so neglecting, and
to the one whose business is "minded"
it brings, I say, justifiable disgust and
anger. Persons of the best disposition
cannot keep down their rising spleen
- when another who has no interest what
ever in his nlfairs, suggests this and
advisee that, thinks that it would redound
greatly to his advantage if he
would enter into this speculation,
lenows that he will come to nothing if
lie continues in his present course, and
is profoundly convinced that if his ad
vice is not taken he will rue it. Out
upon all such ! say I. "Mind your
own business"?for it is very likely
that it needs it. Take the beam out of
yojr own eve, And trouble not the mote
in thy brother's.
Who constituted you a superior and
censor morum over vour neighbor's
concerns? If lie needs aid, give it?if
lie asks your advice, offer it?if lie
does not, let hiin alone. Verily, it
seems, friend Meddlers, that you have :
such a hankering attor the interests of
other men, that I begin to believe that, 1
to express it as courteously as possible
and without hurting your feelings, if
you have any at all, you are slightly
"touched iu the upper story." lou
ought to advise your friends, (if you
have any, and I doubt it,) if they had
a proper regard for vour interests
and welfare, they would send you to
the Iusaqo Asylum. Dr. Fisher says
he has room for fortv more, and I
doubt lt-t the Dr. would willingly ac
commodate yon. There, your friendly
inquiries (?) and kind hearted suggestions
(?) would meet with no objec- 1
tions: and, if you could tame a mouse
or spider, yon might offer any number
of BHfPiTGotionfl a8 to the best irinrinAr nf
, ~ ~ -- V
building a nest. or constructing a wob.
Tliey might, it is possible, von know,
call you in as assistant architect, find
and thoro yon would lie "in your glory"?and
it is extremoly probably !
that: they would let you pull down And
build up to your heart's content. And
another g cat advantage yon might
possess by being fin inmate of suon ft
place is, tl.,.i no one there, your mouse
and spider not excepted, would call i
you impertinent, or puiiUii you for |
your insolence. You might brow boat,
harass and vex your innocent little 1
mouse to the verge of distraction, and i
never lie punished for it. You might
instruct your spider that if his web ;
was stretched a little further to tho '
North, or made a little stronger to the <
South, or thinned ont a little at the
East, or taken in a slight degree at the
West, or if be was a littlo more active,
OK if the flies were a littlo more abun- i
dant, be would vastly augment his '
chances for making a decent living: i
and X will venture to say?I hazard 1
the assertion, that everything your <
spinning friend would do, would be to <
run np in his hole, staro at yon, and in i
a clear voico tell you to "Mind your 1
own business." But you wouldn't <
mind that, it would not throw yon out ?
of humoi/; for yon have had that can- t
t^on dinged into your ears ever since "
your brain began first to be affected. I
friends, the Ak-ddlers I inn speak- f
their ears?my?friends, I have written i
these few Hues /or yw you
need not get mad ami "flare up" about i
it; for you don't know how I nin, and

To the readers generally of this paper:
I would ask them to rejpl the
fbllowihg extract, And say if it isn't
"good"?yea! very good :

Or when he leaves the lady,

"The substance of our query
Simply stated would be this :
Is it anybody's business
What another'* business is!
Whether 'tis, or whether 'tisuT,
We would really like to know?
For we are oertain, if it isn't,
There are some who mahe it so.
"If it is, we'll join the rabble
And act the nobler part
Of the tattlers and defamers,
Who throng the public mart;
But if not, we'll act the teacher,
Until each Meddler learns,
It were better in the future,
To mind his own concerns."
But" Chacun a ton gout."
The Gray Hare is the Better!
Horse.
We know that the line is in Prior's 1
Epilogue to Lucius; but the story from
which the phrase is derived is something
like this: A gentleman, who
had seen the world, one day gave his
eldest son a span of horses, a chariot,
and a basket of eggs. "Do yon," said
lie, to the boy, "travel upon tho high
road until you come to tne first house
in which there is a married couple.?
If JQU find that the husband is the
master there, give hiinone of the hor-l
ses. It, on the contrary, the wife is j
ruler, give her an egg. llctiro nt
once if you part with a norse, but do j
not come back so long as you keep
both horses, and there is an egg remaining."
Away went the boy full of his mission,
and just bcyona the borders of
his father's estate, lo! a modest cottage.
lie aliglitea from his chariot,
and knocked at the door. The good
wite opened it for liini and curtsied.?
"Is your husband at home ?" "No,"
but she would call him from the liayj
field. In ho came, wiping his brows ;
The voting man told thein his errand. |

suit me the best." "If we have a

"No," replied John, "the bay for mo j i

Amcsixg.?A late writer on kissing
very properly remarks that the abominable
fashion of ladies kissing each
other is a piece of wont.m and unprovoked
cruelty ; a sheer waste of Heaven's
good gift?a miserable frittering
away of what was designed for better
purposes. It is absolutely wicked, and
ninety-nine cases in a hundred, it is
done for 110 other purpose than to annoy
